Mr. Wong is wearing ……………………………………………………………………… Yuri is wearing ……………………………………………………………………………… READING COMPREHENSION: FASHIONS Spring, summer, autumn, winter: every season there are new clothes and new fashions in the shops. Colours and styles keep changing. One season black is the ‘in’ colour, but the next season everyone is wearing orange or pink or grey. One season tight-fitting clothes are fashionable and the next season baggy clothes are ‘in’. The length of women’s skirts goes up and down from year to year. In the 1960s, miniskirts became very fashionable and a woman could wear a skirt twenty or thirty centimetres above the knee. A few years later, maxi skirts became trendy and then you had to wear skirts twenty or thirty centimetres below the knee. Each season there is always a ‘correct’ length and if your skirt is just a little too long or too short some people will thing that you are very unfashionable. Men have similar problems with their shirts. Some years it is fashionable to wear very small collars. Another year small collars become out-dated and large button-down collars are trendy. Sometimes it even becomes fashionable to wear shirts with no collars at all. A shirt that you once thought was very trendy can look strangely old-fashioned a few years later. And your father’s shirts, which you always thought were very conservative and traditional, can suddenly become stylish. Keeping up with the fashions can be very expensive. So one way to save money is never to throw your old clothes out. If you wait long enough, the clothes are out of fashion today will be back in fashion tomorrow.

My hobby is reading. It has been a great pleasure for me since my childhood. The world of literature is fascinating and infinite. It certainly doesn’t mean that I love all the books. To tell the truth, finding a good book is not so easy. I prefer historical novels, classical and informative literature and some professional books concerning business and management as I am going to run a business of my own in future. I never choose a book only by its colourful cover. As a rule, I look through its pages, read about the writer and his awards. My favourite writers are Victor Hugo, Alexandre Dumas and Dan Brown.
There are many sports that will keep an adult in shape and the child will develop and form a sports building. It starts from childhood, and the love of sports must come in those years. When a teenager is involved in sports, it's much less likely that he'll be under the bad influence of the street. All sports other than good physical form also raise discipline. For example, by giving a child to sports, it will be noticed that he acquires certain discipline and is always willing to take responsibility for his actions and actions.
Sport can change the lives of adolescents, as well as adults, but it's more logical to talk about children, because they're the country's hope and reliance, and it's not like a growing generation to lead an unhealthy lifestyle. The first thing that children should be given to children should be pushed into sports, and it is important to understand that sports should be enjoyed. Because the factor that the child is being forced into the sports section will be very bad. We need to figure out what the baby likes. You don't want to torture him, like boxing, maybe the kid wants to do team sports. Anyway, it doesn't matter if someone likes chess or pool. And that's also good, because the kid won't be missing in the street and it's not likely to get in any trouble.
